Science studies the relations...

Science studies the relations of things to each other: but art studies only their relations to man.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Labor rids us of three great evils; tediousness, vice, and poverty.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

The history of humanity is no...

The history of humanity is not the history of its wars, but the history of its households.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Though you may have known cle...

Though you may have known clever men who were indolent, you never knew a great man who was so; and when I hear a young man spoken of as giving promise of great genius, the first question I ask about him always is, Does he work?

John Ruskin 780 quotes

You were made for enjoyment, ...

You were made for enjoyment, and the world was filled with things which you will enjoy, unless you are too proud to be pleased with them, or too grasping to care for what you can not turn to other account than mere delight.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Depend upon it, the first uni...

Depend upon it, the first universal characteristic of all great art is Tenderness, as the second is Truth. I find this more and more every day: an infinitude of tenderness is the chief gift and inheritance of all the truly great men. It is sure to involve a relative intensity of disdain towards base things, and an appearance of sternness and arrogance in the eyes of all hard, stupid, and vulgar people

John Ruskin 780 quotes

... no human actions ever wer...

... no human actions ever were intended by the Maker of men to be guided by balances of expediency, but by balances of justice.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

No architecture can be truly ...

No architecture can be truly noble which is not imperfect.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

... the weakest among us has ...

... the weakest among us has a gift, however seemingly trivial, which is peculiar to him, and which, worthily used, will be a gift also to his race forever.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

All that is good in art is the expression of one soul talking to another, and is precious according to the greatness of the soul that utters it.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Human work must be done honourably and thoroughly, because we are now Men; whether we ever expect to be angels, or were ever slugs, being practically no matter.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Government and cooperation are in all things the laws of life. Anarchy and competition, the laws of death.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

The sculptor must paint with ...

The sculptor must paint with his chisel; half his touches are not to realize, but to put power into, the form. They are touches of light and shadow, and raise a ridge, or sink a hollow, not to represent an actual ridge or hollow, but to get a line of light, or a spot of darkness.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

In great countries, children are always trying to remain children, and the parents want to make them into adults. In vile countries, the children are always wanting to be adults and the parents want to keep them children.

Drawing is a means of obtaining and communicating knowledge

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Without the perfect sympathy ...

Without the perfect sympathy with the animals around them, no gentleman's education, no Christian education, could be of any possible use.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

God has lent us the earth for...

God has lent us the earth for our life; it is a great entail. It belongs as much to those who are to come after us, and whose names are already written in the book of creation, as to us; and we have no right, by anything that we do or neglect, to involve them in unnecessary penalties, or deprive them of benefits which it was in our power to bequeath.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Whatever merit there is in anything that I have written is simply due to the fact that when I was a child my mother daily read me a part of the Bible and daily made me learn a part of it by heart.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

The greatest efforts of the r...

The greatest efforts of the race have always been traceable to the love of praise, as the greatest catastrophes to the love of pleasure.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

When I have been unhappy, I h...

When I have been unhappy, I have heard an opera... and it seemed the shrieking of winds; when I am happy, a sparrow's chirp is delicious to me. But it is not the chirp that makes me happy, but I that make it sweet.
